Kayak Outing for Beginners and Experts

Located 12 miles from Seward just over the Fox Island Split is Kayakers Cove, a great destination for those who love kayaking and those who think they might like to try kayaking. The setting for kayak trips are excellent because the river flows through rugged mountains, leaving them protected and serene. There are numerous examples of wildlife in the area, so you will not only get to enjoy floating on the river, you will get to see the animals and river life Alaska is known for. Visitors can take kayaks from the lodging options at the Cove or they can hike in the wilderness and enjoy the area on foot. There are cabins and the lodge available for overnight stays after your kayaking or hiking trip. Kayak rentals are available for $20 or $30 per day, depending if you need a single or double kayak. Rental cost includes a life vest, spray skirt, and bilge pumps. You can also receive instruction if you need it. The lodge has a kitchen and cooking and eating potential, but kayakers should bring their own food and drinks. The main lodge is available for $20 a day and the private cabins are only $60 per day for 3 guests. You can request bedding for an additional $5.
